Modular Synthesizer Cabinets

I spy some MATRIXSYNTH cards and magnets! :)

"This is a follow up video to my desktop modular synth video featuring a showcase of my new cabinet (DFMZ-2) and the desktop controller (DFMZ-Desktop) alongside my first cabinet (DFMZ-1). The Technosaurus Small Wonders Series Tower was also finalized this Summer and now all are set up and being used in my little studio.

The cabinets feature a custom stencil graphic to simulate the graphic style of the Technosaurus small wonders on all of the sides, back and bottom. The first cabinet was left raw after graphics and the front faces left natural oak to kind of give it that old school desk or laboratory equipment look. The second cabinet was laquer clearcoated (6 coats) after the graphics and polished to a glossy shine. The front face has decal pro graphics buried under the clearcoat at the corners and features custom hand laid pinstriping by BRUCE. The desktop controller features custom solid mahogany end caps with woodburning graphical pattern, cleacoated and polished to a high gloss shine. Sheet metal between the wood sides and fitting into milled groove on sides, also, the Doepfer rails feature a notch on the back side which receives the sheet metal enclosure for a snug, secure fit. Sheet metal painted with same colors and graphical pattern as cabinets, clearcoated and polished. The inside of the desktop was painted white to allow maximum radiance of the bright blue led's on the Monorocket distribution board, custom light pipe made for amplifying this light.

The music that accompanies this video was something I had on an old tape in the deck and was just used to have something to listen to in the video. Having some fun with the Korg DVP-1 vocoder with vocals from my friend Marcus Maximus. "He'll save everyone of us" - Enjoy"
